I just put Goodyear Mud Runners on our Rubicon. Wore out the original tires in 1400 miles. Got the stock size and have had them in mud, snow and on dry dirt, very happy with purchase. Bought them from Treadepot, (treadepot.com) very happy with their service and they had the best price. ATV Magazine rated the Mud Runner the best all around mud tire and I can see why. Most of my friends have 589's and all of them are happy with them too.

Enjoy your new machine and follow the maintanence schedule.

I didn't check but you can look at www.goodyearatv.com I do believe they will list all the sizes. I bought them at www.treadepot.com, they by far had the best price of all Goodyear sources I could find. Went out today in 8 inches new snow (fell last night) with mud undernieth it and I am 100% satisfied. I got the stock size because I did not want to affect the stability by taller tires or having to install a lift kit. I understand Highlifter has a 2 inch lift for about $100, they seem to specialize in Honda's. My wife and I do all (97%) riding together (double) and like the way it is.

Goodyear Mudrunner or the Titan 589 would be an excellent choice. Mud Bugs ride rough on hard terrain.

Both the Vampires and Mud Bugs are great tires but I went with some 27x10x12 Mud Bugs for my 1999 Foreman 450S because they are lighter than the Vamps.

I don't have any first hand experience with the mud runners but I have no complaints on my mud bugs. I think you would be happy with the mud bugs.
